The pandals are temporary pavilions that house the deity. A large number of such pavilions are built across neighborhoods in India during the week when Durga Puja is celebrated. Work on the pandal usually starts six to eight months ahead of Durga Puja, right after the contracts are signed in January-February. However, it is only the last one to two months before the puja that work takes on a frenetic pace when the pandal is put together at the site with people working three shifts a day. A Pandal Decorator’s team is comprising of farmers, masons, carpenters, electricians, painters, etc., who take care of various parts of pandal making such as building the structure of pandal; covering up the pandal with water-proof cloth and different material, artwork, painting and lighting inside the pandal. However, some work with specialised teams which are outsourced. Like many other Product/Services available on Google, JustDial, IndiaMart etc., the list of decorators and pandal makers are also available on various digital platforms. Digital Durga Puja is in the process of preparing a Directory of Pandal Decorators available all over India. If interested, Join us.
